AbstractDirect oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are increasingly used in clinical practice and have become essential in the management of atrial fibrillation and VTE. The enthusiasm for DOACs has fueled the off-label application of these agents in cardiopulmonary disease, and their use has often outpaced the evidence supporting their application. This article reviews the evidence and current off-label use of DOACs in various cardiopulmonary disease states.Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier Inc.
